This is a new one for me. A neat little button-like horn coral: Dipterophyllum glans from the Middle Mississippian Burlington Fm. of Iowa. Didn't know which forum to share this, so I thought I'd drop it off here for posterity (scale in mm)

Found in Southeast Indiana on the Whitewater River. I find a bunch of Grewingkia but this coral looks different, has a deeper chalice and wider at the top compared to the length. Thanks guys!

On this dreary first day of the New Year, I was poking around in some of the fossils I picked up on the Whitewater River in Franklin County Indiana and trying to id them. The fossil on the right hand side is shaped like a Horn Coral which I find alot but it shares the same crenelated surface as the fossil in the middle which isn't shaped like a Horn Coral. Could the middle fossil be Cystiphylloides? The piece on the left I have no clue, it's really porous and may be just a rock, but I see a small mold of a shell in it? Appreciate you help and want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!!

Dear The Fossil Forum members, I have those Cnidaria (and a few other unidentified Cnidaria genera) from Camadas de Alcobaça Formation, Kimmeridgian, Portugal. I would be interested in Neogene Bivalvia or Gastropoda. If interested drop me a line please. Kind regards, Ricardo

Quotation Wikipedia: "Nemiana simplex has given taxonomists great trouble due to its simple nature. When the species was first discovered it was placed in incertae sedis, however since then, a combination of well-preserved specimens and new techniques that have allowed scientists to examine the creature's body structure, have given the creature anatomical links to jellyfish and was subsequently placed in with the other extinct coelenterates." Nemania simplex is one of the most commonly found Ediacaran organisms. Refewrences: Palij, V. M., 1976. Remains of soft-bodied and trace fossils from deposits of Upper Precambrian and Lower Cambrian (in Russian).
